Q

Other characteristics of injury

A

Chronic O2 deficiency makes cells more resistant
After 30-60mins cell death starts
80% of cells at risk die within 3hrs
Almost 100% by 6hrs

Q

Why increase level of cardiac enzymes

A
With death:
Holes appear
Small, cytoplasmic markers leak quickly
Larger complex markers released slowly
Direct relationship between concentration of these markers and size on infarct
